How much waste can be stored in an NSDF?
How much waste can be stored in an NSDF?
Usually NSDFs have 50 years worth of storage.
How many NSDF's are there in Canada Currently?
How many NSDF's are there in Canada Currently?
There is no NSDFs in Canada now but in the future there could be 3-8.
When (what year) could be the end of nuclear waste storage?
When (what year) could be the end of nuclear waste storage?
They could end the NSDF storage in 2050.
Are there different sizes of NSDFs?
Are there different sizes of NSDFs?
We have only found the one large size of an NSDF.
How much money does one NSDF cost?
How much money does one NSDF cost?
The estimated cost to build the NSDF for 1,000,000 m3 of CNL waste is $475 million. This estimate includes licensing, site preparation and construction of the engineered containment mound, supporting facilities and buildings, and access roads.
Impacts on the future... Will there eventually not be enough room for nuclear waste?
Impacts on the future... Will there eventually not be enough room for nuclear waste?
There will always be enough room in an NSDF because an NSDF can hold about 1,000,000 cubic meters of low-level nuclear waste.
How will we safely store nuclear waste in an NSDF?
How will we safely store nuclear waste in an NSDF?
Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere. Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage. Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.
For more information go to Near Surface Disposal Facility (NSDF) - Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (cnl.ca).
